Index Focus - 22 June 2017

Equity indices are nursing losses as sentiment remains under the cosh from political uncertainty (Trump, Brexit, Middle East) and Oil having taken another leg south to plumb 10-month lows on revived supply glut fears.

The UK’s UK Index is being weighed down by Oil, Banks (uncertain outlook on growth and rates), Miners and FX sensitive internationals, overpowering strength within Healthcare (SHP approval, GSK legal) and precious metals miners (FRES, RRS) as the safe havens rally on reduced risk appetite. Germany’s DAX is only mildly lower, with gains for Thyssenkrupp and Merck offsetting losses for Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Telekom.

The UK Index 100 bounce is struggling to get back above 7420. The DAX 30 has bounced from support at 12720. Dow Jones Futures have found support at 21390 to keep the uptrend alive. Gold’s bounce has found a hurdle in $1255.
